Uyghur noun suffix Finite State Machine for stemming

In this paper, we report on the generation of Uyghur noun suffix DFA generation for a stemming algorithm. Because of the agglutinative nature of Uyghur language, stemming is an essential task for Uyghur language processing applications. In Uyghur, the suffixes are affixed to the stem according to definite ordering rules. The agglutinative and rule-based nature of word formations in Uyghur allows modeling of the morphological structure of language in Finite State Machines (FSMs). In this study, FSM is formed by using the morphotactic rules in reverse order. This paper describes the steps of forming the reverse ordered Uyghur language noun suffix FSM.
